German Christmas Museum:

The second floor of the Kaethe Wohlfahrt Christmas Village Store at Rothenburg is said to house a unique German Christian museum. Herald Wohlfahrt started contemplating traditional Christmas celebrations during the era of his forefathers. He wanted to chart the traditional and historical development of this festivity. The museum also focuses on the secular customs of the festival for all those who’d be interested in learning more about Christmas.
